Answer:
-4*10⁴ units.
Explanation:
As the metal rod was initially neutral (which means that it has the same quantity of positive and negative charges), after being close to the charged sphere, as charge must be conserved, the total charge of the metal rod must still remain to be zero.
So, if due to the influence of the negative charge in the sphere, the half of the road closer to the sphere has a surplus charge of +4*10⁴ units, the charge on the half of the rod farther from the sphere must be the same in magnitude but of the opposite sign, i.e., -4*10⁴ units.
The correct answer is
C ). A hypothesis includes an explanation for why two variables affect each other, but a law only describes how they affect each other.
Answer:
50 N.
Explanation:
On top of a horizontal surface, the normal force acting on an object is equivalent to the force of gravity acting on the object. That is:
The mass of the block is 5 kg and the given force due to gravity is 10 N/kg. Substitute and evaluate:
In conclusion, the normal force acting on the block is 50 N.
